Proclamation as Christ and Transfiguration

Main articles: Confession of Peter and Transfiguration of Jesus

The Transfiguration of Jesus, depicted by Carl Bloch

At about the middle of each of the three Synoptic Gospels, two related episodes mark a turning point in the narrative: the Confession of Peter and the Transfiguration of Jesus.^[120][149] These events mark the beginnings of the gradual disclosure of the identity of Jesus to his disciples and his prediction of his own suffering and death.^{[107][108][120]}
In his Confession, Peter tells Jesus, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."^{[150][151][152]} Jesus affirms that Peter's confession is divinely revealed truth.^[153][154]
In the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1–9, Mark 9:2–8, and Luke 9:28–36),^{[107][108][120]} Jesus takes Peter and two other apostles up an unnamed mountain, where "he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white."^[155] A bright cloud appears around them, and a voice from the cloud says, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him" (Matthew 17:1–9).^[107] In 2 Peter 1:16-18, Peter himself affirms that he witnessed Jesus' Transfiguration, stating that the apostolic tradition is based on eyewitness testimony.^[156]
